    Well top three home attendance across the nation is Michigan, Ohio state and penn st. As well as some of the most eyes for TV. They're the bar along with SEC

    On the field they are behind the ACC

    My point is Ohio State is the only playoff team they have that can compete and they last won it in 2015

    Michigan and Penn State can't FINISH

    Wait until you find out that the 2 gallon jug provides more glasses of milk than the 1 gallon jug.



    Also, the combined enrollment at those schools is almost as many future seat fillers as the entire Pac-12 North. Half of the Big Ten doesn’t give a fuck about football, the difference is that the schools that do care don’t let the other ones push them around. Nebraska bullied them into having football, and that the Pac-12 to do the same. Bored corn farmers who didn’t get intimidated by the social norms of academia are why we get this aborted fetus of a season instead of nothing.
    Set the goal posts. What determines if a school cares about football? Please don't say winning because Nebraska cares more about football then most programs in the country

    Pac-12 football is so bad, the TV cameras at ESPN shut off. The USC-UTAH Televised games is now a radio broadcast.

    If only there was an easy and objective way to measure where all the schools would fall into place. About where they belong.

    If it had to be a one sentence answer: the president of a university and it’s board are meeting, where does football reside on their priority list?

    A nebulous answer, without knowing for sure what it would be at each school, but the right one. The board determines what happens at the university. Some examples: Bear Bryant Jr controlled Alabama’s. Google Bobby Lowder, disgraced founder of Colonial Bank, and his domination of Auburn’s board. 5/12 trustees were connected to his bank, and the governor who he helped get elected changed the laws to allow him to stay an additional 12 years on the board. If the board disappoints Phil Knight does it get that $1 billion new science campus?

    If you want a quantifiable answer it would be something like averaged football spending, not total AD spending, without the various accounting tricks. Or you can visit a schools roster of football staffers and see how many they have.

    It’s not just winning, it’s desire to win. Nebraska has sucked for a long time but they also fired a coach that went for 9 or 10 wins every year because that wasn’t enough. How many years does an undefeated national title buy a coach at most schools? For Gene Chizik it was one 8 win season and one 3-9 season. How willing is your school to cover up sexual assaults? What if it’s children and your beloved coaches pal?
